However, people shouldn't count out the numerous XBLA games available each year. Yeah, yeah, they're not big-box, AAA, $60 "exclusive" retail releases, but a lot of downloadable games (whether on PC, PS3, or 360) have more gameplay value than most of the $60 retail releases these days.
Some people are going to say MS is saving exclusives for the next console, but that's not it.
MS has found this generation that they can do more with less. Between timed exclusives / dlc and a few of their exclusives being ultra insane sellers, MS seems to think that they don't need to invest in as many first / second party studios as their competition do to keep their core gamers happy.
We've even seen journalists repeatedly state that Sony should cut back their exclusives and focus on advertising (for less investment and larger gains), than put up significantly more money to develop numerous exclusive titles that don't sell like Halo.
While some may argue this makes sound business sense, it sounds vile to me and goes against every fiber of my gamer being.
Only in this crazy new age of gaming is more quality exclusives considered a bad thing.
And I'm not bashing the 360 console, which I own. But any 360 owner has to admit that the quantity and quality of exclusive titles for the core gamer now (and for the next console) compared to the first half of this generation is worrisome with MS' continued push towards Kinect and timed exclusives / dlc vs actual exclusives.
I got my 360 for Dead Rising, Crackdown, GeOW, Mass Effect, and the Mistwalker games. DR and ME went multi-plat, CD 2 sucked, what the heck happened to MW, and only GeOW maintained it's quality. I feel the earlier titles in those series were the best ones.
I didn't hear this in 2012 nor see any articles like this lol. People were surly thirsty for 2013. Is the console wars still being fought, if so, then you folks are sad...
It would have been more appropriate to raise this issue two and half years back but now. I feel for xbox users they deserved a lot more than GOW and Halo DLC.
the irony here is that there are plenty of "exclusive" games for each platform that are coming out. How they are received is another issue. Quality and appeal are the deciding factors of a game getting purchased or just sitting there.
We know that not ALL games appeal the same and as such the quality of those games is criticized differently. Some have a simplistic nature that may not appeal to a certain type of gamer but that does not change the fact that if the game is exclusive it should be omitted from a list of exclusive games to be released.
the fanboys always only want to talk about the exclusives, but look at the games in 2012, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, AC3, etc etc. there's enough quality multi plat games to keep most console owners busy. 5 exclusives in 2013 really aren't that many compared to the number of multi plat games people want to play.
Oh please. Don't pretend like 2012 was typical. They're clearly preparing their resources for the next gen. Any other year, you have unmissable exclusives.
Sorry, but "almost" every good XBLA title comes out on either PC and sometimes PS3 as well. Even if it doesn't come out on PS3, the fact that it's on PC means it's not exclusive.
There are also "some" downloadable games that have better value than "some" retail releases. However, you get what you pay for and a lot of these digital games are just pure ass. That's why some of these games don't make their way to Steam because they're submitted and they're declined by Steam as something that doesn't seem like it would sell, meaning they probably thought it wasn't any good. Microsoft will let anything on their XBLA as long as you pay the fees.
Microsoft has nothing to prove at the end this gen. Going into year 8 the 360 is the oldest console this gen and is still finishing extremely strong headed into E3.
Microsoft just released its most expensive title Xbox history in less than 2 months ago alongside a few other exclusives this holiday and it paid off huge.
Halo 4 is the fastest selling Halo ever and like every other Halo will chart in 2013. the 360 itself had another dominating Dec NPD and quarter.
At this point, We see what happens every year with articles like these. They pretend that MS somehow has to compete against Sony game speculation.
When we saw what happened last year, when there were sites declaring all Last of Us and games like Last Guardian were coming in 2012.
So at the end of the day, you basically have The God of War prequel vs. the Gears of War prequel in March.
And although Naughty is blesses us with 'Last' in May, MS isn't stupid enough to release an exclusive at the same time becuase Grand Theft Auto 5 will be dropping in May as well. (see Alan Wake vs. Red Dead for reference)
The rest of the supposed games are all coming after E3 and we all know this is an huge E3 for MS if it's going to be launching the 720.
The rest of the first half of 2013 is dominated by huge high profile multis many of which MS has been pushing hard like Tomb Raided, Metal Gear, and Bioshock: Infinite.
Again at the end of the console gen there is nothing to prove and I guarantee Sony will be just as careful next year when they are in the same position MS is in.
Over at MetaC the users voted 14 of the top 20 games multi plats (8 of the top 10) for 2012.... maybe exclusives are not as important as they were 5 years ago?
That may be true, but perhaps multi-platform games get more votes because they are played by more people on more platforms. If someone games exclusively on one or two platforms they aren't going to vote on an platform exclusive on a platform they don't use.
"Why Only One Xbox 360 Exclusive vs Five PS3 Exclusive in 2013?"
This console generation is ending, and next gen is arriving... most likely in 2013.
As for exclusives, i prefer quality then quantity. If you take a look at PS3 exclusives in 2012, they were all average or below average. I personally didn't purchase any PS3 exclusive in 2012.... but i have to admit this year it looks much better for the PS3. Probably purchase 3 or 4 PS3 exclusives this year.
Not necessarily. There is a possibility that Sony is pumping out many quality exclusives while Microsoft could be releasing a few 'not-so-good' games. Remember though, it's a 'could' not 'are'.
I'm sorry, but releasing only sequels and prequels to shooter franchises doesn't sound like much quality. How is Sony releasing around 5 games about quantity? Sony at least releases new ip unlike Microsoft.
i know what xbox fan answer would be "because MS is ready for nextbox"
if that even close to true then that's a company that don't deserve any gamer respect they drop support for the console before even show the new one ??!! and don't tell xbox still getting MultiPlat games that's not support...that's just what every other system have too no one need to own xbox to play games you can find on other systems and psn + already beat xbox live when it come to value
sony may show ps4 this year or next or never and the samething with MS no one knows..i all just rumors we should care about what we have right now
with sony ...ps3 fans get alot of support from 1st/2nd/3rd part dev's and will still get that support even after few years in ps4 life sony only care about money just like MS..yes i know that but atleast sony doing it job with playstation owners
i know i will get downvoted and lose bubble it's just my opinion though
"i know what xbox fan answer would be "because MS is ready for nextbox" "
2010s alam wake was the last new IP. And I got it on pc.
Xbox gamers don't care for new IP's or platform support for other than shooters. America sigh.. They just want who has the best commercial because the one with the best ad is the best to them.
I dont think that's necessarily true. I think they would play more games than shooters but that seems to be all they have, when it comes to exclusives. Thats why their few exclusives do sell more, there is less to choose from.
How is that disrespectful? Especially if none of these games will be backward compatible why would a dev release a game on the 360 at this point in time.
@ Jag yea check your facts. Gears sells around 5 to 6 million units not even close to 10 million. Also I should inform you that the uncharted games were able to sell around that much.
There's one game in those entire lists that these well informed individuals listed that is coming out on PSN and that's "Rain" I believe. Everything else on that is a retail disc title and more than half of them will be over 80 on Metacritic.
And as far as Jtag's jab toward sales, God of War alone can go toe toe with Gears.
Troll harder. Even your name is a disappointment over something illegal to do to you box to cheat and play games for free. Gtfo.
If you narrow it down to a certain convenient games, but what about last year?
Many of these games were probably pushed out to this year due to being delayed. As far as I can remember, there was only one AAA exclusive game on PS3 last holiday. That fighting game that bombed.
Does it matter anyhow? I have so much games on the backlog, exclusives and multi-platform and I can't find time to play them. There is a huge library on all platforms, except Wii U due to being new. If you can't find games to play, you either have too much time on your hand or have a very narrow taste for games.
It actually does matter because of competition. Competition is suppose to bring quality and variety. Only Sony seems to understand this. I cannot blame Microsoft because it apparently doesn't matter and Mulitplats have done far better than exclusives this Gen when they are obviously sold across different platforms. I love use to love the Xbox, and I still like it. But I have to say that purchasing a Ps3 was one of the best thing I have ever done for myself this Gen. If only the 360 was more like the original Xbox. Men did I love that console. It had an amazing variety of games. It was just late to the party.
Sony is already making names for these exclusives come next Gen. They don't have to stress about new ips like microsoft. They just have come out with couple more to add to the list.
to nukeitall, PS3 in year 2012 had 7 Exclusives. Little Big Planet Karting PS All Star Battle Royale Starhark Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault Sorcery (This is a move game don't know if this should be counted or not) Tokyo Jungle Twisted Metal
Also they release the ratchet and clank, killzone, jak and daxter collections. plus MLB the show, and move games.
Don't talk shit. Sony is in the hole for keeping it real with the so called gamer. 90% of sonys exclusives brake even when it comes to making money, soooooo if you guys care so much about them buy those exclusives. And with this generation coming to an end i highly doubt things will change. If your not making money then that means your loosing money.
That just to show that Sony is all about the gamers and what the gamers want. Gamers want variety and options. They do not want the same ip being shoved down their throat every 1-2 years. I love my xbox 360 but im growing very tired of the same thing over and over again. Halo.... Gears... forza... alan wake....halo...gears....forza. .. alan wake... repeat. Got the ps3 and playing Heavy Rain was such a refresher.
They have the best first party studios, but still have yet to make games as big as GTA or Saints Row, or open world rpg's like Fallout or Elder Scrolls. They make fast and fun games that are of good quality. BTW, i dont count SOE games cause they are good, but they just don't match up with the competition. BTW, this is coming from someone who is a huge Killzone and Motorstorm fan. I give credit where it's due, Killzone being the best fps imho.
Infamous? And yes sony needs to get back into the rpg game. But I'm not a fan of fallout and elder scrolls type games, I like jrpg's a ton better, so I hope they make that type of rpg
hey Da_SHREDDER how come i dont have your psn id? wanna play Motorstorm Apocalypse one of these days? between my vita and starhawk/sorcery i have not played Apocalypse in a long time but im just looking for a reason to get back to online so what do you say? i twitted Matt not long ago and kinda say that Motorstorm as a franchise isnt done yet but he cant tell me what the studios is working on right now but i will soon find out lol btw Lunatics Unite!!!

Because Sony had to delay their games to 2013 and had a messed up 2012.
When was the last big blockbuster game Sony released? And if someone mentions LBP Karting or PSABR, he should go right into his basement and start crying.
Uncharted 3 was the last game. It released 01.11.2011. Since then, there was no big exclusive blockbuster game for the PS3.
And what do N4G users say: "OMG 2013 will be awesome!!! Sony is Th3 B3ST!"
yeap 2012 wasnt as great as 2011 or 2013 for that matter lol, anyways my favorite game in 2012 was starhawk!!! and if you guys have a psmove give Sorcery a try, man im having tons of fun with it, i dont know why i didnt get it before, Psmove needs more quality titles like Sorcery, hopefully Until Dawn is good too.
Everyone had a messed up 2012. What was Microsoft's last big blockbuster between Gears 3 -Nov 2011- and Halo 4 -Nov 2012-?
In that same space, two Fable games bombed as did an Alan Wake digital sequel. Flagship Forza barely sold a million and Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings only did half that. Akai Katana sold like 20,000. Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor estimated around 60,000 with a metacritic avg of 38/100.
Difference is, they didn't even -have- anything to delay into 2013. This year's looking just as flat.
When were Microsoft's real last big games. Halo 4 and gears 3 which released before uncharted. And now a new gears is all that is coming for 360 this year.
360 had a great 2012 with amazing exclusives 2013 is going to have a great year again with games like Dead Space 3 or GTA V.
But Microsoft knows this is the year 360 will be replaced, no need for bringing more games anymore since most hardcore fans will jump ship for 720 and the other players, sincerely they only care about Cod or GTA anyway.
So what you are saying that its ok to abandon all the xbox 360 owners who are not ready to upgrade to the nextbox? i'm not planning to upgrade to next gen yet until i see that there are games worth upgrading. but at the same time I would still want to play some new games on my Ps3 or xbox 360. What you are saying is that its ok to turn you xbox 360 into a paper weight?
***"I don't need to rub it in. I was just trying to let people know they weren't official numbers from neither. You must be the one bothered because you replied to my post. "***
Why are you lying? You said it was fishy because it is SHIPPED numbers NOT because it wasn't official.
These are YOUR EXACT WORDS: - "Those are only shipped numbers people. I thought it seemed a little fishy because of there is no exact number sold." -
I'm the one that said it's "best to wait for official Sony and MS numbers" so I don't know how I appear to be bothered, but PMing me with a "haha sucker I was right" message seems like gloating and trying to rub it in to me.
Also please do not PM me if you are going to block me. They should make so that if someone blocks you their last message sent is automatically deleted. I'm tired of people doing that bull.
ONCE AGAIN An article was posted to incite a fanboy riot on N4G. So sick of this.. can't we get back to news articles? Why do we need All these bullsh*t opinion pieces by people who cant even string a sentence together in a grammaticaly acceptable fashion? They aren't gaming journalists, they aren't reporting news, nothing they write is objective, and everything they write is purely their own opinion. Yet it gets posted on N4G and everyone starts screaming at each other.
Also, When it comes to games, most of the games I've played over the years of this generation that have become my personal favorites were multiplat releases. The only games in my favorites that are exclusives are the Forza Motorsport series, the Uncharted series, and MGS4. Could care less about Halo, Gears, Alan Wake, God of War, Dark Souls, Killzone, etc.
Most of my favourite games this gen have also been multiplatform. The only exclusives I care for are God of War, Gears of War 1 & 2, LittleBigPlanet and Alan Wake. I couldn't care less for the mediocre Uncharted 'games', MGS4 is awful (never played a previous game in that series and never will), don't care for Halo (might try Halo 4 though) and I don't care for racing simulators so no interest in GT or Forza.
I own all current generation consoles and my favourite games have 95% been multiplatorm.
Clearly something is afoot at MS. I know they typically are quiet about their 2nd half until E3 BUT usually we also typically know of one or two of those titles. This year we know of nothing...not even 3rd party games seem to be showing their hand. You can even say the same thing for Sony in that 2nd half is murky.
Its going to be an interesting and fun E3 for sure.
One point of contention with the article. Author states the IDC report says Sony surpassed in life time sales when in fact IDC is reporting it believes Sony surpassed MS in lifetime shipped units. It's splitting hairs in some respects but "shipped units" is the accurate reporting.
Whatever happened to Ryse and Fable Kinect? Seems Microsoft gets so caught up with next gen that they forget a lot of gamers are waiting for exclusive games. I'll tell you one thing. I only have a 360, but if MS don't bring exclusives, Imma buy a PS3 and dive right in to games like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, GOW, Motorstorm, Killzone, LBP, Infamous, Ico and Shadow of Colossus, Resistance, Metal Gear Solid, and so much more that's coming.
I can answer this there planning to drop all support for the 360 because there ready for there new console just like they did with the original xbox when the 360 came out.
However, people shouldn't count out the numerous XBLA games available each year. Yeah, yeah, they're not big-box, AAA, $60 "exclusive" retail releases, but a lot of downloadable games (whether on PC, PS3, or 360) have more gameplay value than most of the $60 retail releases these days.

Are these games coming in 2013? Are they hardcore or Kinect? Are they for the 720? We don't know.
Either way 2013 is looking to be a great year for Xbox 360 owners.
that simple :P
"Either way 2013 is looking to be a great year for Xbox 360 owners."
If you are talking about multiplats then yes. Exclusives? Hardly.
@greenpowerz
"PS3 fanboys were saying this at the end of 2011 yet in 2012 Sony had weaker offerings"
Difference is, compared to Xbox 360's 2013. PS3 had more than ONE exclusive for 2012.
Sony 12 first party studios.
Im on phone so can't really link but its true. Lets reassess this situation in 2-3 years. I think people around here will be surprised.
here is that there are plenty of "exclusive" games for each platform that are coming out. How they are received is another issue. Quality and appeal are the deciding factors of a game getting purchased or just sitting there.
We know that not ALL games appeal the same and as such the quality of those games is criticized differently.

So really the votes don't tell the whole story.
This console generation is ending, and next gen is arriving... most likely in 2013.

I personally didn't purchase any PS3 exclusive in 2012.... but i have to admit this year it looks much better for the PS3. Probably purchase 3 or 4 PS3 exclusives this year.
Remember though, it's a 'could' not 'are'.
since launch of kinect MS have kind of given up on core market, which i believe will bite them in their behind come next gen.
gamers are a lot of things but stupid isn't one of those things.
"because MS is ready for nextbox"
if that even close to true
then that's a company that don't deserve any gamer respect
they drop support for the console before even show the new one ??!!
and don't tell xbox still getting MultiPlat games

no one need to own xbox to play games you can find on other systems

sony may show ps4 this year or next or never and the samething with MS
no one knows..i all just rumors

it's just my opinion though

"Ridiculous"
That's because you have so few choices, it's either Gears or nothing when it comes down to it. Its that simple.
Multiplatform games are almost tied in America now in terms of weekly sales between PS3 / 360. According to VGC for what its worth.
And as far as Jtag's jab toward sales, God of War alone can go toe toe with Gears.
